I said I wasn't going to post more than once. This is the exception and to back up the reason of not getting into debates.Well, well, well…two Insiders and a Hopping seem VERY keen to pour scorn on this new venture. I’m not an avid shopping telly viewer but ‘pop in’ now and then out of curiosity. I haven’t seen much of this new channel but wish them well regardless.
What baffles me is how the aforementioned trio seem at pains to defend I.W….and what a shoddy, duplicitous bunch of tat-schleppers we know THEY are. The products are market stall tacky, the presenters are cringe-inducing liars and the ludicrously inflated RRPs are criminal.
Defending I.W is as pitiful as expecting people to believe Muriel is real.
I have decided to post off my own back. Should I have said nothing? Maybe. Should I have said less than I did? Possibly. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything at all.
BUT I never defended IW. Please correct me if I did defend them in my comment. IW now is not IW and it is only the brand which transferred. Did I like IW1? Yes, up until 2014 or so when the bid tv lot came. Do I like it now? Do I think their morals are in the right place? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
And this is the reason I will not reply to any comments as it's things like this - putting words in my mouth - that annoys me and why I don't want to comment.
Edit: I mentioned IW making £20-30k as Simon worked on IW for years. I'd have referred to QVC if I knew him more from there.
